Thanks for project manager. I got confused, you are suggesting not to use a VS code but use Tech Debt Tracker extension which in theory can do the same thing.

True I do mention above that you can turn that off in settings or you need to, so the option is there. Nonetheless these extensions are aimed at visual studio code and vscodium users alike.
